What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The Alas Astra Free Game Demo is just the start of an epic science fiction adventure, set within a vast alien Ringworld.

Building such a huge space station and completing the Alas Astra video game has proven to be a task currently beyond the resources of our small team at Delta Video Games and so development on the game has now stopped.

But we did create this fully playable Demo of the Alas Astra game featuring some awesome gameplay and we want to share that demo with the world for Free.

This demo represents about 1 and 1/2 years of hard work from our small team, and we didn't want it to gather dust hidden on our hard disks. That's why we have made the decision to release the Alas Astra Game Demo for Free on Steam!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Active development on Alas Astra is currently stopped.

Delta Video Games does not currently plan to continue development on Alas Astra, so it is possible that the game will remain in Early Access indefinitely.

If in the future, Deta Video Games gains the resources required to complete the Alas Astra game, then the game could possibly see a full release.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The Alas Astra Free Game Demo features about 30-60 minutes of exciting 3rd person science fiction third person shooter gameplay. There is one gameplay kevel with a variety of enemys and a boss fight. The game is fully playable, and we hope, a lot of fun!

However, the Alas Astra Free Game Demo lacks a lot of the features that are planned for the full release.

The Alas Astra full game is intended to feature:
- 9 Game Levels.
- An array of 8 powerful weapons.
- A Character upgrade and customisation system.
- And much more!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Alas Astra Free Game Demo is a fully playable Sci-Fi Third Person action adventure game.

You play as a Robot Knight with a Power Sword, Plasma Gun and Jetpack.

This demo build features one whole game level with a variety of enemys and a boss fight.

The demo game provides about 30-60 minutes of exciting and daring action adventure gameplay!”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes.

The initial Early Access release of Alas Astra is being offered for Free.

If the game ever progresses to a a Full Release, then the Price will change to approximately $20.00.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Delta Video Games is pleased to bring the Alas Astra Free Game Demo to Steam Early Access, and can't wait to hear how the players react to the game. We hope you will love it as much as we do, but if you don't we want to know why.

If you would like to make a suggestion, ask a question, or provide feedback on Alas Astra, please join us on our public Discord, or leave us a message here on the Steam Community forums.

Thank you for playing!”

About This Game

Among distant stars a lone Robot Knight must stand against an ancient and unfathomable evil. Explore the vast and alien Degathalion space station and battle the nefarious Xetanoids in a daring quest to confront their rulers and save the Centaurus galaxy. Aetagradion, an immortal alien cyborg and leader of the Xetanoids has enslaved the galaxy and stolen the sacred Protos Orb technology to bend it to his horrid will. With no one to stand in the Xetanoids way the fate of Centaurus looks bleak. Yet from cosmic origins a hero has arrived. You must fight your way through the Degathalion and recover the lost Protos Orbs; Confront Aetagradion and put an end to his reign of terror.

In the mission to defeat the Xetanoids, you play as Alas, a heroic and sentient robot. He is an intergalactic lawman of celestial might, tasked with bringing justice to the cosmos. And he has not come unprepared for a fight! Armed with a righteous power sword, trusty force shield and plasma side-arm, you must mete out retribution on the Xetanoids. Yet the Degathalion is a deadly domain of pitfalls and unexpected dangers which Alas must blast through on the wings of his fusion powered Jetpack. As you explore and recover the lost Protos Orbs, Alas's power will grow and a greater array of advanced weaponry will become available. Nuke the Xetanoids with the mega plasma cannon, or cleave them to pieces with the mighty power axe, while zooming through the dark twisting tunnels of the Degathalion.

Alas Astra is a cosmic adventure that spans the galactic history of the Xetanoids, the tragic tales of the Centaurus galaxy's free beings; glimpses the starry origins of robotic consciousness and even the faint glimmers of creation itself. It is a Science Fiction epic with cyber-technology and astrophysics at it's steel studded core. Will you brave the dark depths of the Degathalion, uncover it's alien mysteries, and in the triumph of good over evil, shape the fate of the future?
